Haus Dispatch

Good morning everyone! The morning started off cold and misty, but the sun has risen and evaporated all the fog to reveal perfectly clear skies. This whole week should be relatively sunny. I'm super excited because the weather has been a little too cool and dark for my liking recently. I hope the ground dries up enough so that I can work in the yard and get our garden going. Can't wait to start growing some food!

On to business...

Lots and lots of restocks last week and over the weekend. All general catalog Bubble Scrubs, Emulsifying Scrubs and Pumpkin Butters have been restocked! Spring items have been marked down, too.

My focus this week, is all soap. My plans are to have everything in stock by the time the summer release rolls around, May 12th. I think this is very doable. I'm exited too! I don't think I'll have been this caught up with production in... well, forever. That's the power of having our new work space. Efficiency!

We currently have Apothecary, Elevenses, Imp and Honeysuckle Lemon Curd curing up! Today I'll be working on Lavender Sugar and Insalata Nocturna.

That's all for now. I'll be keeping you all posted with lots of soap photos this week.

Good morning everyone!

It's been a minute since I've done one of these ;) Right now it's raining and it's also my birthday! So I'm taking the day off to enjoy the rain and eventually some burritos and beer, followed by cake and ice cream! 27 was great, but I plan on making 28 kick ass!

I thought I'd share with you what's been going on in Instagram land...

 

A neighbors cat, keeping a sharp eye on me while I walked to the gym one day.

 

Simple delicious noms! I like my bananas nice and spotty too, is that weird?

 

Ok, this thing... IS AWESOME. It's, indescribably delicious. It's a cashew and coconut cream based treat with tons of pure vanilla flavor and these chunks of cocoabutter and cacao that just melt in your mouth. They're expensive, so I don't buy them often, but they're worth it.

 

Moss carpets everywhere this time of year. 

 

I can never make enough of these buggers! I need elves.

 

My hair has faded from this brightness. It's almost pinkish up front now, my hair always fades more in the front. I think it's due to running my fingers through it and it coming into contact with water and cleansers on a daily basis. My goal? Lavenderish locks and a tan this summer. Oh, how I love the sun.

 

The first of many maneki neko bits that will be in our reception room. They're symbols of luck and beckon in good business. 

 

Reading a lot about fairies these day.

 

Lots of soap production last week and even more next week. As a matter of fact, that's all I plan on doing next week. Soap, soap, soap. I plan on getting all of general catalog restocked along with summer soaps done too. So excited to soap up White Blueberry! I think it'll be awesome.

That's all I've got for now. I have a huge backlog of Instagram photos I want to share. I may break it up into themes, I have so many flower and custom perfume pictures.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Spring Reverie!

Apr 14 2013

Live today at Noon PST!

Lots of Whipped Soaps and Butterbombs! The warm summer months are coming soon, and that means we won't be making or shipping our heat sensitive products. We wanted to give everyone a good chance at getting their hands on these two very popular items!

WHITE RASPBERRY
Tart raspberry and a clean cream accord.
(Butterbomb, perfume oil, whipped soap)

WHITE BLUEBERRY
Blueberries awash with white vanilla sugar, cream and a sprig of white thyme.
(Butterbomb, perfume oil, whipped soap)

MANGO STICKY RICE
Sweet mango, coconut infused rice and toasted sesame.
(Butterbomb, perfume oil, whipped soap)

HAUS CHAI
Creamy chai tea, with mandarins and burnt myrrh.
(Butterbomb, perfume oil, whipped soap)

AETHER
The essence of our whipped soap, free of fragrance and colorants.

Long awaited new single notes for Perfume, Made for you! Read on for restock information as well...

 

 

FERN
Springy, green and fresh. Sap like. (Middle note)

STRAWBERRY
Sweet and tart! (Middle note)

SWEET CREAM
If you're familiar with our "white" notes in White Raspberry and White Blueberry, you'll love this one. It's a creamy, clean and faintly sweet. Pairs well with fruits, musk, amber and wood - but don't let that limit your imagination! (Mid-Base note)

YUZU
A fresh but candy like grapefruit note. Mouthwateringly delicious. (Top note)

YELLOW PEAR
Super juicy ripe pear. This note is dead on and true, it's fantastic. (Middle note)

EUCALYPTUS WOOD
An unusual wood note.  This isn't like the typical nasal decongestant that many associate eucalyptus with. This is clean, cool, smooth and woody. Pairs well with green notes, citrus, fruits, resins and herbs. (Mid-Base note)

CHOCOLATE
Simple bitter chocolate. This accord utilizes cocoa c02 extract. (Middle note)

*

Restocks! We will be adding in some 2oz Pumpkin Butters this afternoon, along with Butterbomb restocks. Lip Balms have been set back due to a delivery mishap. They gave us our caps yesterday, but not the tubes! Those will be restocked tomorrow.

Looks like I'm finally settling into a good work schedule, that first week was a bit bumpy! I finally sat down and worked out a weekly schedule for myself, just yesterday. I also did Spring production planning and finalized two new Spring scents!


I'm getting right to the chase here, I have lots and lots of Bubble Scrubs to make after this blog post. I'm restocking the entire general catalog today, hopefully. So, here's what's happening this week at the Haus!

 

  • General catalog Bubble Scrub restocks, today.
  • Valentines products being marked down today.
  • Wednesday/Thursday general catalog Pumpkin Butter and Body Emulsion restocks.
  • Spring production begins Friday! Newsletter/blog post soon.

 

That's all guys. I'm off to start whipping up some scrubs! 


Have an excellent Monday everyone :)

Hey guys! It's been a bit quiet around here lately, due to the move and us getting settled in. I've finally got my area set up and functioning. I had to wait for the plumber to install my sink before I could begin any serious work. And hopefully we'll get our heat fixed soon, because it's super cold in the warehouse, it makes working kind of uncomfortable.

 



At any rate, I do believe that things will be officially settling in this week and we can get back on a normal scheduled. So, as always, I will be working on restocks for Valentines and General Catalog and in the meantime, also working on Spring products! There will be lip balms, butter bombs and new Spring single notes for Perfume Made for You. I know, Winter notes fell through and I'm sorry! Between the move and general craziness, I just never found the time to finish it.

What I am really excited about when it comes to future releases, is now that we have the bigger and more efficient space... There will be more stock and a whole lot less of items selling out instantly. This makes me really happy, because I hated that many of you would have to wait for restocks to finish your orders.

So, be on the lookout for restocks over this week and weekend!

Thank you all for being patient with us during this time of transition. We'll be back to full operations very soon!
